BAKSHAISH, Northwest Persian

(Connoisseur-Caliber)
The singular vision of the Persian Bakshaish weavers is apparent in this quiet, earthy carpet offering one of the rarest sizes to be found in antique Persian room size carpets -- 6x9. Woven in the Azerbaijan region, whose artisan dyers worked their natural pigments to capture the nuanced pink and blue shadings seen at sunrise and sunset, this village rug presents an individual ambiance against its eggplant-brown base. Minute color changes invite contemplation of the integrated geometric Herati pattern that quietly fills the field of this 19th century Oriental carpet. It remains in extremely good condition.
